Golden hair, golden eyes, a delicate face, and an air of heroism that seemed to radiate even without any movement.
"Long time no see!" The newcomer stepped forward and greeted him.
"What are you doing here?"
Huo Yuhao asked with a complex expression. This golden-haired woman was Wang Qiuer. It had been almost a year since they had last seen each other after the Star Luo Arena Soul Master Tournament.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao noticed that Wang Qiuer was wearing the uniform of the Body Sect Academy.
"Can't I be here?"
Huo Yuhao fell silent. He didn't know how to talk to Wang Qiuer, or even what position he should take in their conversation.
"Qiuer, aren't you going to introduce me?" A light, melodious voice sounded at that moment.
Hearing the voice, Huo Yuhao noticed another woman beside Wang Qiuer. The woman had long silver hair that cascaded down her back to her waist. Her hair wasn't just smooth, but also had a texture like silver crystal, possessing a beauty that defied description, with every description falling short of capturing her exquisite features. Her skin was a pale, almost ethereal white.
She had long, curled eyelashes and clear, transparent purple eyes like crystals. A silver gown tightly enveloped her slender, graceful figure, making her appear pure and untainted.
Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, not because he was stunned by the woman's beauty, but because her image reminded him of a person, no, a dragon: the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue Na.
Huo Yuhao used his senses and found that this woman only had the cultivation of a Great Soul Master, but this made Huo Yuhao even more suspicious. Some people were like that; no matter how they concealed themselves, they couldn't hide their brilliance.
Huo Yuhao had a strong feeling that this woman shouldn't be as ordinary and plain as she appeared.
Moreover, the woman wasn't wearing a school uniform, which meant she was probably not a student. She was with Wang Qiuer and had this kind of appearance, so how could Huo Yuhao not think too much?
"Sister Na, you already know, so why do you need me to say it? He is Huo Yuhao from the Body Sect."
Wang Qiuer, usually so assertive, was surprisingly well-behaved in front of the woman, even a little coquettish.
"You little rascal."
The silver-haired woman smiled, then turned her attention to Huo Yuhao, a look of interest on her face. "Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm Gu Yue Na, Qiuer's cousin."
Huo Yuhao's expression froze, he couldn't control it. It really was Gu Yue Na. But wasn't she supposed to be holed up in the Star Dou Great Forest, recovering from her injuries? How had she gotten out so soon?
Huo Yuhao felt that the world was becoming increasingly chaotic; he couldn't understand it anymore.
"Hello, my name is Huo Yuhao. It's a pleasure to meet you," Huo Yuhao replied, trying to keep his tone calm and normal.
Gu Yue Na took in Huo Yuhao's slightly awkward demeanor. She didn't suspect anything; she'd seen this reaction countless times in men recently. They were all just a bunch of trash who thought with their lower halves, but a flicker of disgust still flashed in her eyes.
"You two chat. I have to go now."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and, with Song Ming, turned and quickly left.
Wang Qiuer opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
Gu Yue Na narrowed her eyes, looking thoughtfully at Huo Yuhao's departing back.
"Qiuer, tell me more about this human's information, in detail?" Gu Yue Na said.
"Sister Na, why are you suddenly asking about this? Is there anything special about him?" Wang Qiuer asked curiously, with a faint feeling of unease.
"Special? Of course, he's special. A thirteen-year-old Soul King isn't special enough? And he's a Soul King whose strength rivals a Title Douluo."
"What? That's impossible. I fought him before; even as a Soul King, he couldn't possibly have the strength of a Title Douluo." Wang Qiuer shook her head repeatedly.
"How long has it been since you last saw him? This should be related to his God Ranking reward, A Thousand Years Dream, perhaps?"
Gu Yue Na pondered for a moment, then said, "Qiuer, you need to pay more attention to this person in the future. He's very special and may become an obstacle in my plans."
"Sister Na, are you going to make a move?" Wang Qiuer's eyes flickered with a hint of panic.
Gu Yue Na shook her head gently, saying, "Not yet. I can't see through that God Ranking, but it's clear it doesn't favor our soul beast race. It's best to wait until it disappears before acting. This human has too much potential, and we'll have to eliminate him eventually."
"Sister Na, aren't you being a bit dramatic? He's just a Soul King. Even if his strength were to barely reach Title Douluo, he wouldn't threaten your plans, would he?"
Wang Qiuer said, feigning ease, but inwardly she was cursing, You stinky man, why did you have to flaunt yourself in front of Sister Na? Now, she wouldn't be able to save him either.
"What if he becomes a Super Douluo? You're right; he doesn't threaten us for now. But his potential is too great. In a few decades, no one knows what he'll become.
Moreover, he has a very interesting little trinket on him, similar to a Soul Core. The spatial power within it even surpasses Di Tian. Do you think I shouldn't pay attention to such a person?"
Gu Yue Na spoke slowly, having seen through Huo Yuhao's true nature.
Wang Qiuer remained silent, a worried look in her eyes. She knew that Sister Na's attention was definitely not a good thing for Huo Yuhao, it might even be a disaster.
But she seemed unable to do anything. She didn't dare to plead, nor did she dare to reveal her special feelings for Huo Yuhao, because that would only backfire.
"Song Ming, how long has Wang Qiuer been at the academy?"
On the other side, Huo Yuhao asked casually, but he was slightly worried. Gu Yue Na's appearance wasn't a good sign.
In the original story, this woman's initial goal was to exterminate humanity. Later, after integrating into human society and being influenced by the people around her and Tang Wulin, she changed somewhat. Also, there was the common enemy of the Abyss Plane at that time.
When the hidden strength of the human side was exposed after repelling the Abyss Plane, Gu Yue Na fell into a weak position, and only then did she make a compromise.
"Replying to the young master, Miss Wang Qiuer was among the earliest to enroll," Song Ming replied.
The earliest batch, which meant about six months. But before he could think further, Song Ming continued, "Young master, do you know Miss Wang Qiuer's identity?"
Huo Yuhao glanced at him, thinking How could I not know? I've read the story. Why is he acting all mysterious with me?
"Stop wasting time, get to the point."
Song Ming gave a sheepish smile, then turned serious. "We haven't found any detailed information on Miss Wang Qiuer yet, but the girl with her seems to have some connection to the rising Eastern Limit Empire's royal family."
"What? You're saying she's connected to the Eastern Limit royal family?" Huo Yuhao's expression changed drastically, as if struck by lightning.
Song Ming didn't understand why his young master was suddenly reacting so strongly. What was so special about the Eastern Limit Empire? It was currently the weakest of the five major countries on the continent, and even other countries didn't acknowledge its claim to being an empire.
"Young master, that's the information we have. Is there a problem?" Song Ming scratched his head.
Huo Yuhao's heart was pounding, and he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. A soul beast had infiltrated the human world and was controlling a country, developing soul tools. What were they planning?
He couldn't help but think back to the past, when he first met Wang Qiuer. She was cold and indifferent to everyone, yet she kept clinging to him, from Shrek Academy to the Star Luo Arena Soul Master Tournament, and even now. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
He felt that this might not be a coincidence, but rather a carefully orchestrated plan, a huge conspiracy. Once this thought came to mind, it wouldn't go away, and it quickly spiraled out of control.
So, did Wang Qiuer approach him with a specific purpose?
Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of reluctance flashing within them, but it was overshadowed by determination. For the sake of his own life, it seemed he had to do something.
